On April 28th, the onion just dropped a bold move, bidding to take over Infowars through Alex Jones' bankruptcy case tied to the Sandy Hook families, lawsuit. Their parent company, Global Tetrahedron, wants to license the site's intellectual property like the Infowars trademark and domains for $81,000 a month. After a judge shut down their first auction attempt earlier this year, this new deal heads to a Texas court for approval run by a receiver overseeing. Jones' free speech systems, comedian Tim Heideker, known from adult swim, and Tim and Eric, steps in as creative director. The onion CEO, Ben Collins, says they can't just erase the site's history, they aim to replace conspiracy rants with sharp satire and better content. Heideker plans to flip it into a comedy streaming hub, pushing onion subscriptions and sharing profits with Sandy Hook families. He calls Jones a wild entertainer like pro wrestling, but admits the guys got vile ideas
mixed in. Right now, the courts got the final say, but if it sticks, expect Infowars to morph into a parody playground that holds the past accountable while. Building something fresh for creators. That's the story for today, entertainment and celebrity news. And today, driven by AI, I'm Corey with The Story.
